MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM The Morning BOUNCE!

Thank you for listening!

Frankie gets to rant all the time, so it’s my turn!!

Everyone knows I am a bit of a stickler when it comes to grammar and spelling. Although I am far from perfect, I have noticed there is a HUGE apostrophe problem in Nova Scotia! When it comes to pluralization, it’s out of control!!!!

Let’s take this sign for example.

It should be “inquiries”.

This one is really brutal – “yours” does not have an apostrophe!

What is up with people thinking the apostrophe should be used to make something plural? The apostrophe “s” denotes ownership of something. This would be correct if it was saying “The panini’s bread” but if you are talking about more than 1 panini, it’s paninis – no apostrophe! (I won’t even get into the fact panini is Italian for sandwiches, panino is singular so when you order a “panini” you are ordering sandwiches….anyway)

As for spelling, that’s another issue.

In this country, savour is spelled with a “u”.

Again, wrong. The proper spelling: asparagus.

This is one word that is chronically misspelled! It’s caesar!

Okay, rant concluded. I feel much better!!

In her book, 1001 More Ways to Reveal Your Personality, Elayne J. Kahn says how you open your Christmas gifts can reveal your personality.

- If You Open Your Cards First you are thoughtful and considerate. You are not an impulsive shopper and you care deeply about what other people think about you. Sometimes you end up caring too much and getting hurt yourself.

- If You Tear Your Gifts Open you are enthusiastic, aggressive and impatient. You are truly a kid at heart and love to party.

- If You Are A “Detective” Who Shakes Their Gifts First you are dramatic and love being the center of attention. People love the way you tell stories.

- If You Are A “Busybody” Who Checks Out Everyone Else’s Gifts you are insecure and a worry-wort. When you buy for others you are generous and conscientious. You are very well liked among your friends even though you do not think so.

- If You Are An “Exhibitionist” Who Parades Their Gifts Around To Everyone you love to entertain, make people laugh and enjoy being at the center of everyone’s attention.

- If You Are A Private Opener you sometimes hide your feelings and emotions from others and you hate being caught off-guard or letting your real emotions show.

The big man is getting ready to deliver your presents…and you can track him here!!!

TRACK SANTA

CAPRICORN
You may feel as if you’re running in place. But look behind you: you’re moving forward.

AQUARIUS
New information comes your way, probably after noon that leads you in some really interesting directions. Your instincts are telling you to stay uncommitted. Don’t ignore their guidance.

PISCES
Something isn’t quite right today — you may believe something that’s untrue, or you might need to confirm with someone that they’ve been holding back on you. Life gets better right away!

ARIES
A friend’s mood is casting a shadow on your day. Don’t let it. Use your good energy to turn things around, if that doesn’t work…get away from them.

TAURUS
Don’t get stuck between two friends. This is their issue, so let them handle it. If they try to pull you into their mess, be upfront and tell them you won’t take sides or somehow excuse yourself from the situation.

GEMINI
Suddenly, everything’s upside down. It may take a minute for you to get your feet back on the ground, but don’t worry things will straighten up soon enough.

CANCER
You’re letting the details obscure the big picture. Stand back; take a broader look. You can’t let your heart rule your head today.

LEO
Your great personal energy is attracting the right kinds of people today — so expect some great conversation! It’s a really good time to listen closely to arguments you’d ordinarily reject.

VIRGO
You are inspired today — so get out there and make something new happen! You should be able to change directions more easily, especially if the new path feels righteous.

LIBRA
It’s taken some work, but you and your closest friends and family are getting along better. It’s work you can believe in and you can pave the way for easier times ahead.

SCORPIO
Check your health today — you’re more likely than usual to pick up a cold or otherwise take a dive for a few days, and it’s best to avoid that if possible. Drink lots of water, take vitamin C, get some rest…you know the drill.

SAGITTARIUS
Your energy is depleted. Coffee won’t help. You need time to recharge.

THAT’S WHAT ‘S GOING ON IN YOU WORLD TODAY, ON YOUR MORNING BOUNCE HOROSCOPE!

I double dare someone to send Frankie’s picture and get him and Em together!! Ha!

CAPRICORN
Expect multiple requests for favors or attention — requests that you are only too glad to help out with. Your great energy makes you want to support friends and family, so everyone is better off.

AQUARIUS
When you hold on too tight to something, it just squirms. Loosen that grip.

PISCES
Reorganize your closet, whether real or mental. It’s time to clear away the clutter.

ARIES
Karma is a powerful force, and right now it is having a profound effect on your life. Your past actions determine whether today is great, awful or somewhere in between, but that should inspire you in the future.

TAURUS
Your mind is on the future today, and it’s a great time to set something new in motion. Let go of the past and you may be able to score something that can make a real difference in your life for quite some time.

GEMINI
You can’t always help how other people see you. Today you need to realize that sometimes, even the best P.R. can only get you a moment’s worth of attention.

CANCER
Follow your hunches today — they almost can’t steer you wrong! Your powerful emotional energy is sufficient to carry you through almost any situation, so don’t be shy about making waves.

LEO
Stay focused and don’t get sidetracked — especially toward the end of the day.

VIRGO
You know everything changes eventually — but that doesn’t mean you’ve got to like it! Today brings a pretty big shift in the ground beneath your feet, so expect to find new answers to new problems.

LIBRA
Your emotions threaten to run away with you. Respond with your intellect.

SCORPIO
Some odd duck is trying to get your goat. Playing possum won’t help. You need to take control of the situation and you will come out on top.

SAGITTARIUS
Your mood is just right for seeing how things could be different and applying old lessons to your own life. Pay attention to what’s going on around you. The littlest thing could be your next clue in what direction to go in.

THAT’S WHAT ‘S GOING ON IN YOU WORLD TODAY, ON YOUR MORNING BOUNCE HOROSCOPE!
